(Edit 12\/1: These abilities have been changed on live. Please refer to the 5.1 Battle Pet Guide for the correct information.) In addition, we have battle pet abilities up for the 5.1 pets we found last week. Two new abilities were added on the PTR: Maledizione di Lunacupa and Corvi Assassini.

Sounds interesting, maybe we'll see some more fun stuff for our farms as the expansion progresses. ;o

"Can only be used in Sunsong Ranch."\r\rI had 5 seconds of joy that it could make mages obsolete. Oh well...

Kinda odd that all four spirits have the same names for their abilities. I'd assume they have different names at least. Fire spirit cast Water Jet!

I'm thinking the shards are a little pointless, seeing as you can fly to the Shrine really quickly.

What I am finding interesting, is that they seem to be doing with this ranch a lot of things that they said they would never implement housing in order to avoid. I believe you can collect mail at your ranch, and now you can port to main cities from it, which are two main reasons for going to town. It's an instanced area that is unique to each player, and you get various cosmetic upgrades including pets and furniture. They have added a lot of ground clutter and vanity items this expac, and I have noticed that for many many quests they phase in very small changes in scenery when you turn them in (barrels appear next to the quest giver, or tablets appear in the cart, etc.) It makes me wonder if they're playing with the idea of housing, and the various technologies they'd need to implement it.

I don't know about everyone else, but my farm plots are way too important to waste one growing a portal that essentially saves me 2-3 minutes of flight. Not only that, but it's random what portal you get, and "one-time use"!

It's kinda funny too, because essentially this seems ideal only for the very impatient... but if they work like seeds you have to wait until the next day to use it anyway!

What would be cool, and kinda make it worth it, is if the portals were permanent so long as you left the shard there. To get rid of the portal, you would have to use the shovel and dig up the shard.

Useless item... what if one wants to go to SW or IF and gets Dal or Darn?

It does seem that way. Speaking of the farm, I wish each person you could raise reputation with had a benefit (not just Jogu and Gina) when working with you on the farm as they don't really do anything atm but sit there and look pretty. For instance, having X person on your farm automatically turns "Wild" plants into "Growing" plants.

I don't get much use out of the others. It'd be nice if they were doing something on the farm since I've "hired" them to come out there to help. Perhaps they could take care of some of the plant ailments while I do others. I dunno, just a thought.

Leave it to Blizzard to take something that sounds awesome and bog it down with so many restrictions that it ends up sucking. I can't see any possible reason someone would want to waste a plot of their garden on a portal shard.

I can't see any possible reason someone would want to waste a plot of their garden on a portal shard.\r\rI agree. They seem incredibly pointless. Imo, they should change it to be a more costly shard that instead takes a farm plot for several days, growing into a permanent portal on your farm (either it can continue to take the plot until dug up or then be "moved" to another spot on the farm). There would be some other obvious restrictions, like only X portals at a time or something.

they should just make a shard that ports you to the portal room in your factions portal capital, then its more consitant and takes up less bag space. OR even better make the shards port you to areas of pandaria that you could use in your faction cities. ATM its a little stupid to have to run to org to get a portal to the jade forest to then fly to dread wastes ect, that or hearth but portals and hearths should have different purposes IMO.

Just given how it works it might make portal shards a little more viable, but from the looks of it it would take a day. And unless these shards you're suggesting have no location requirement, it takes only a matter of moments to get to anywhere in Pandaria from Sunsong Ranch.

I really dont need these shards i have all the previous expansions trinkets or necklaces to get around as I need and now with portals in Vale its easier to just make that my home.
